Public Advisory: Boaters urged to exercise caution on the Peace River near Site C construction area
River closures
In fall 2020, we rerouted a short section of the Peace River during construction of the Site C project. This resulted in permanent closures on the Peace and Moberly Rivers in June, 2020.
What to expect
- Debris management systems placed across the Peace and Moberly rivers
- Restricted areas will be marked with signage and beacons
- In-river construction works at the dam site
Portage program
To move boaters around the construction area, we have set up a seasonal portage program to transport non-motorized vessels (up to 20') by road past the dam.
The program will operate between the Halfway River boat launch and the Peace Island Park boat launch from May 15 to September 15, 2023.
